The Puffer Forum

As you all may, or may not be aware of, I am very fond of my miurus puffers and I've already got two. I have just locally seen another miurus for sale, and I have to say that I am very tempted to get another. I've always had a thing for the miurus puffers, and if I'm lucky, I may get a different colour. Right now I've got a very bright orange, almost red miurus and the other, my "mini-biscuit" is pinkish-tan.
So we will see ..... I have a feeling that I will have a new arrival tomorrow.

How do you have room for all of these? Do you always have a spare tank running or something to accommodate a newcomer?

I keep a couple of tanks running upstairs, because I know how I am. And I always run extra filters on my other tanks so that I have mature media available.

Must be nice <<insert green-eyed jealous smiley here>>

I can't find even one in the whole US

But seriously, you know we will need photos as soon as you get your new one!!

cant wait for the pics

I love the look of mini-biscuit..

Get another one that same color so you can have a big biscuit...

I'd love to get a different colour from either Orangetta or Biscuit ..... but there's nothing I can do about that. I figure my miurus is winging it's way to me even as I type this. They are supposed to deliver prior to 12.30pm, but it's usually a little later than that when I've used their service before. I am very excited!
Another surprise for the husband too. See how long it takes for him to notice this one -- only I'm not going to give him any hints this time!

Just tell him that one of your other congos had a baby...

"Yes, honey, one day it was just in the tank with it's mommy! No, they don't lay eggs silly! They have live young, usually one at a time."

Lol, I do the same thing!
Hope to hear U bring it home

That's a good one Purple .... would love to see his face!

I am hoping to have good news tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait, I really do love miurus puffers.

did you already bring a fish home with out telling him?

Yes she has....

Okay, the new miurus is here! Was a close call though, I thought the husband was going to catch me in the act whilst I was moving puffers around.
I moved my Baileyi to the upstairs tank, and I've put the new miurus in the tank the Baileyi vacated. It's funny but the new miurus looks like a baby Orangetta. However, I am going to guess that my new miurus is a male, along with Biscuit. I believe Orangetta is a female -- this is all conjecture and I could be totally wrong. Doesn't matter what sex they are though, I still love them just as much and it's not as if I'm only getting them to breed them.
I've taken some photos, not got a chance to upload yet, will probably do that once hubby is at work tonight. He is an adorable little puffer though.

So .... shall we see how long it takes for the husband to notice this one?

I'm so happy, my little orange miurus seems to be settling in very nicely. I gave him 2 very small earthworms and he ate them right down. He's so small, even compared with MIni-Biscuit he's still tiny. Odd to see them that small.
I do have some photos, but not sure I will get them up tonight. I feel like I'm going to fall asleep at the computer.

haha, how long did it take for you to get busted last time?
